Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chocolate Mousse

    Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream and chill until set. Serve in small cups.

  2. 2

    Make Vanilla Panna Cotta

    Heat cream, sugar, and vanilla until sugar dissolves. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Pour into molds and refrigerate until firm. Unmold before serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare Lemon Tart

    Make or buy a shortcrust pastry, blind-bake it, and fill it with lemon curd. Bake until set and cool before slicing.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tiramisu

    Layer coffee-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone mixture and cocoa powder in a dish. Chill before serving.

  5. 5

    Create Fruit Compote

    Simmer mixed berries with sugar and a splash of lemon juice until thickened. Cool before serving.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Plate the desserts elegantly, adding a dollop of fruit compote and fresh mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately.
